Welcome to Reception. Our teacher is Miss Roberts. Miss Owen and Mrs Ottaway also help in our classroom during the year as well. At the moment there are 29 children in our class. Each term more children enter and in the summer we can be up to 30 children. We invite rising rising fives to come and spend the morning with us. We all really enjoy coming to our school, learning, playing and meeting with our friends. Our class is a brilliant class. We enjoy doing lots of different things.

During the week we spend time outside and like to investigate the school surroundings. Recently we have been looking at the bulbs growing and have looked at our school. We have just finished looking at toys and what they are made from, next half term we are looking at buildings. We have been cooking pancakes and at the moment have a Chinese Restaurant in our classroom as we looked at Chinese New Year.

Everyday we have fruit as part of the government scheme. We are a very healthy class and have fruit stickers when we eat our fruit and vegetables.

We love going on the computers and really enjoy using the mouse to make different pictures. We are learning to programme toys and work with Bee-bots. We are really good at using computers. P.E. is also a great hit at the moment we have been using different equipment and investigating ways of moving around the hall.

We are learning about different sounds with Letters and Sounds and have been practicing them lots. Each week we focus on a letter, learning how to write it. We have phonic boxes that go home every night with a new sound or word. Some of us are even trying to join up letters.

We have been learning about numbers, shapes and length. We are getting good at our numbers.We also have opportunities to do lots of painting, cutting, sticking, making, drawing and other fun activities.

We make lots of different things. We have been studying different festivals. During this term we have looked at lots of them including Shrove Tuesday, New Year and Chinese New Year. We will soon be looking at Easter.

We really enjoy learning songs and recently learnt songs about ourselves and soon we will be practising for our class assembly.

Two of our class are reps on the School Council.
